You're misunderstood me. The issue isn't that I can't create a Google account. The issue is that I don't want to create a Google account.

I'm trying to as much as possible minimize the number of accounts I have online. I would rather not get tangled up with Facebook, with Google, with any of these people. Avoiding them entirely and still having reasonable communications may not be possible, but I don't want to do any more of it than I have to.

Please do not create any accounts for me anywhere without my explicit agreement -- in fact if it's possible for you to do that, that would be pretty unnerving.
